Same. 3mf file. just hit the download button.
PrusaSlicer etc. does fine with those
cura did not.
but oh well.
hmmā¦looks like they might have saved it in a non-generic format.
I think PrusaSlicer also uses 3mf and embeds printer profile, etc.
It canāt open it either, so Bambu must have changed whatever Prusa was doing enough that it broke it from reading it.
3mf is supposed to be an open XML format, and it looks like they turned it into a binary mess
Isnāt 3mf a zip of an xml or something like that?
I remember someone not wanting to use it because they were worried it has personal information and they couldnāt verify the info inside.
hmmā¦appears to be.
I saw some other things online that just showed the raw xml.
For some reason, PrusaSlicer errors out trying to read that model 
Orcaslicer might open it. I think when I installed 1.9 it claimed some new project file format that was incompatible with prior versions. Maybe this is that?
I tried it and Orca did open it, with this warningā¦
It opened with the printer and filament settings that whoever uploaded it used. But it was no problem for me to switch back to my printer and filament settings
Looks like makerworld.com supports parametric OpenScad .scad files, and Fusion360 files evenā¦
Found a remix of @jamiekās parametric OpenScad based GridFinity on the site.
Can customize (override default values for grouped parameters), generate, preview and download within the browserā¦
Was hoping Printables would implement something similar.
Printables supports openscad, is there something different in this implementation?
You can also upload/download fusion parametric files.
I know OnShape is problematic - but I get around that by making what I hope are clear instructions on how to change things. Iāve just linked to that model as an example - I havenāt even checked the download document to see if itās up to date, but would appreciate any feedback or comment - I know people are using the parametric files, but never get any real feed back so presume they are working ok.
Well, if weāre doing thatā¦ So does thingiverse.
Yeah, Makerworld.com lets Users config/customize, preview and generate downloadable .STL files based on OpenScad/Fusion360 models purely within the web browser.
So, no need for Users to install and learn to use OpenScad or Fusion360. This approach seems like a nice convenience for less technical Users.
Printables does let Users download .scad and .f3d based models, but then Users need to have that software installed and be comfortable with using them.
Am curious whether people like and use makerworld, or dislike for functional reasons or otherwise (without us getting too tribal)?
Thingiverseās customizer worked by converting parameters in openscad to web form parameters. Foes printables not do that?
I donāt have a makerworld account. Not because I am being tribal. I just have been satisfied with printables.
Is it something I said? 
Presumably thingy does the same as Printables?
I am speaking as a designer not a downloader, so perhaps have a different perspective. My models are hopefully optimised for any machine, but my perception of MW is that itās BL centric which is OK but Iām not interested enough in nutting out what that means for me to open an account.
I just had a portfolio on Printables, when Makerworld kicked off. A lot of people who make money spread their models across all available sites - Iām not motivated by doing that much work. I believe they have a vacuum to translate models directly as do Prusa for Thingiverse, but I havenāt investigated.
I almost never have a reason to look for someone elseās model, preferring to reinvent the wheel every time. If I do, itās usually rubbish for the grandkids, and thereās plenty of that on Printables too, but I havenāt got to the articulated dragon stage yet.
Just tried this out, the web page looks and works like neglected 
for me ( example ). Makerworld have nailed browser based customizing models by comparison. Printables donāt support browser based model customizing afaik.
Makerworld had a lot of resources after stealing Printablesā code and not developing their own. 
And their contests are also top notch. Military drone, someone? 
Thingiverse has been dire for a looong time. 3DSystems/makerbot have completely neglect it. Even the site based search is rubbish.
The ads!!! That is what makes it trash. Cannot do anythIng! Too bad really! They were once kingsl
Thingiverse has had openscad customization since forever, but it does all the rendering server-side which is no big deal from a user perspective but itās got to be expensive and (back in the day) it was flaky.
Printables doesnāt customize as far as I can tell, meaning a user has to have openscad installed on their own computer to make edits.
I can see the customization button on MakerWorld but I canāt tell if itās rendering server side or not. It appears to be keeping count of all customizations so Iām guessing they do it the same way Thingiverse did it. I would have to create an account to find out. I suppose they donāt mind the cost.
I wish Printables would support client-side customization, so that they donāt have to balance features against cost. If the client does the rendering then you can allow non-logged in users to perform customization to get a custom STL without installing anything, and without opening up a trivial DoS attack. MakerWorld appears to be very restrictive in what they allow non-logged in users to do.
